I bought a new road disc frame and seperate an new disc fork.

Only fork is 1.5" Tapered and frame Tapered 1 1/8" - 1 1/4

Fork = Hylix disc Size: 700c, Steer tube Diameter: 1 1/8"(Top) to 1.5"(Bottom), Rake : 43mm, Axle to Crown length: 367mm
Frame= Cube Litening C:62 Disc Frame 2017

Is this combination possible?

It looks like that frame has an IS47 lower headset, which can not be used with a 1.5" crown fork.

I dream of this.... but it is a nightmare.... in other words it cant be done... the lower bearing does not exist.

But check with them, as the lower bearing doesn't seem to be 1.5

for real? Why would you even consider trying that?
it's actually possible to come to the conclusion even before realising it makes no sense at all
